Richard, I like your approach, reply to everyone at least once per day. I exclude people who have said they don't read my posts. Or people who almost never reply to my posts. Except when I want to "set the record straight."
You could write a book about all this. Do you know, there is almost no research about online communication. And even less about online "communities." There's a niche calling out for someone to claim it (-: On Monday, September 29, 2014 1:02 PM, "'Richard J.

So, I try to respond to everyone on FFL at least once a day so they don't feel neglected - I'm a big supporter of online discussions and distance learning - it should be democratic. This is supposed to be an online conversation. There's one informant on <alt.buddha.big.fat.guy> that I've been debating since 1997.
